Obama's prophecy six years ago: We must prepare for an epidemic that will spread from the air

It's a speech during Ebola's emergency and the need for an international plan to cope with a possible new epidemic that could bring global health systems into crisis. Words that some believe may seem to be an unprecedented prophecy by Trump these days.

It was December 2nd 2014 when then US President Barack Obama was giving speeches on the fight against the Ebola epidemic and control strategies that had to be decided to prevent new human massacres.

A speech given at the National Institute of Health (NIH), in which calls for maximum attention were not lacking for future prospects of a new global approach to health emergencies threatening everyone's health and security.

At the time, Obama spoke of the need for an infrastructure of direction, which should not simply be internal but enjoy an international extension and that could generate an action plan worldwide, intervention aimed at allowing quick identification, isolation and response in time to a potentially lethal disease that spreads into the air and is likely to attack humanity in the years ahead.

These words have been fixed on a video that today, after six years and in the face of a great challenge against Coddy-19, some sound prophetic, and others just a healthy reality, which marks Trump's administration.

Time, on the other hand, does not seem to be particularly favorable to him because Obama's speech was issued from archives only after the White House head announced to cut funds to O BSH, write noa.al..

The images are becoming viral, finding themselves in the current situation we are facing and in the face of the delay of a rapid and effective response amid the health crisis.

Speaking of Ebola's emergency in Africa and the negative effects on the entire world structure, he made an appeal for the distribution of new resources that will be divided for managing future critical scenarios in connection with a new epidemic.

“finance is needed to continue strengthening our response to any future Ebola case. It is imperative that we cooperate with other countries to prevent and address future explosions and threats before they become epidemics. We had luck with H1N1, which didn't turn out to be more deadly than it could be. We cannot say that we are lucky with Ebola, because it certainly has a devastating effect on West Africa, but it is not transmitted by air.

However, a time will come, and it will surely come when an air - transmitted disease will spread that will be fatal. To enable us to treat it effectively, we need to create an infrastructure, not just here in the United States, but around the world that allows us to identify it quickly, isolate it quickly and react quickly. So if even when a new type of flu, such as the Spanish one, comes after five years or a decade, we will have already made the necessary investment and we will be on the right track”, Obama said.
